Angel Dust Apocalypse
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Meth-heads, man-made monsters, and murderous Neo-Nazis. Blissed out club kids dying at the speed of sound. The un-dead and the very soon-to-be-dead. They're all here, trying to claw their way free.
From the radioactive streets of a war-scarred America, where the nuclear bombs have become self-aware, to the fallow fields of Nebraska where the kids are mainlining lightning bugs, this is a world both alien and intensely human. This is a place where self-discovery involves scalpels and horse tranquilizers; where the doctors are more doped-up than the patients; where obsessive-compulsive acid-freaks have unlocked the gateway to God and can't close the door.
This is not a safe place. You can turn back now, or you can head straight into the heart of . . .
The Angel Dust Apocalypse
From the Inside Flap
"A dazzling writer. Seriously amazing short stories- and I love short stories. Like the best of Tobias Wolff. While I read them, they made time stand still. That's great." - CHUCK PALAHNIUK, author of Fight Club and Haunted
"Admirably devious, laugh-out-loud sick, and shockingly smart, Jeremy Robert Johnson blew me away with Angel Dust Apocalypse. Johnson's verve for the surreal is high-octane: he burrows down deep into the twisted pathologies of his characters with the reckless abandon of a greased pig squealing down the pipings of a carnival slide. His writing is ferocious and fearless...and though it reminded me of a whole school of dark visionaries, it's truly in a league all its own. It's been awhile since I read something that actually made me do a double take, but this book had me reading passages over and over again, marveling over the ingenuity, chuckling over the inventiveness, and standing in awe of the sheer guts it takes to write like this. Angel Dust Apocalypse is a dark, imaginative treasure - sophisticated, disturbing, witty, and refreshingly twisted. Surrealist horror - absurdist excess - and pure postmodern fun. You absolutely must read this book right away. It'll change you in a way you couldn't imagine." - MICHAEL A. ARNZEN, author of 100 Jolts and Play Dead
"He's one of the freshest, weirdest writers out there right now, and he's just getting started." - ALAN M. CLARK, author/illustrator of The Paint in My Blood
"In one inky scream Jeremy Robert Johnson has established himself as a virtuoso counterculture voice that must be heard. Listen to his siren song with bleeding ears and smile like a lipless wonder, like a marathon masturbator, like a sentient plague. You are guaranteed to enjoy this finely orchestrated literary Armageddon." - JOHN EDWARD LAWSON, author of Last Burn in Hell
